Warning and Safety instructions
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
~
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing
machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
– if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.
~
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
~
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
